Sutty thinks Tisdale could fit the bill if Celtic want to tweak their off field structure in the longer term
Paul Tisdale actually looks a bit like one of the characters who would be flying around in the Tardis with his flamboyant style. But Celtic fans shouldn’t rush into any judgements. I’m not sure how the Trilby hat or cravats would go down in Glasgow but by all accounts there is a bit of substance behind the style.
I know Brendan Rodgers went on record in the summer saying things were not quite where he wanted them to be in the recruitment side. But they still came out of the window in a strong position, with the likes of Arne Engels looking a good find, on top of the deals for previous recruits like Paulo Bernardo and Adam Idah.
Rodgers is calling a lot of the shots and that is understandable given he has a track record for delivering. The question will be what kind of structure does Celtic want to have in the future. It’s different at every club. You’d think Celtic is more of the latter under Rodgers right now but the tweaks to the system with a football operations appointment might allow him to delegate some of the other stuff. Tisdale is certainly an interesting character – and one in complete contrast to the likes of chief executive Michael Nicholson. He likes to remain in the background and you barely hear from him.
But the broadcasters have their hands tied. I understand Celtic wanting to defend their season ticket sales and not wanting to risk punters not turning up. We saw what happened with the Rangers game against St Johnstone on the Sunday night recently, where there were empty seats all over Ibrox. Aberdeen fans might grumble about an early start, Celtic might whinge about recovery time before their Champions League clash against Atalanta. You just know people would find something to complain about.
